The Governance Group Inc. can help organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) prepare for and achieve CMMC compliance through our Consulting Services. Leveraging proven cybersecurity practices and deep industry expertise, we provide guidance throughout your compliance journey — from gap analysis to readiness assessment and long-term program management.

As an Authorized Certified Third-Party Assessor Organization (C3PAO), The Governance Group can conduct CMMC Level 2 certification assessments and issue Level 2 Certificates of CMMC Status in accordance with Title 32, part 170 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the CMMC Assessment Process (CAP).

As an authorized Certified Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO), The Governance Group provides independent CMMC Level 2 certification assessments for organizations seeking to meet Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements. Our certified assessment team conducts objective evaluations using the CMMC Assessment Process and the security requirements defined in NIST SP 800-171, helping organizations demonstrate compliance with the standards required to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

A CMMC Level 2 certification confirms that an organization has implemented the security requirements necessary to protect CUI within its assessment scope. Our certification assessments examine both the implementation and operational effectiveness of the 110 security requirements specified in NIST SP 800-171 across the organization’s in-scope systems, personnel, and processes.

Organizations that receive a Conditional CMMC Status may be required to remediate a limited number of allowable deficiencies documented in an approved Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). We conduct POA&M closeout assessments to verify that all required corrective actions have been fully implemented and that the previously identified deficiencies have been successfully resolved in accordance with CMMC program requirements.

Our team conducts a thorough assessment of your current environment against CMMC requirements and delivers a clear, actionable roadmap to close compliance gaps.
